STUDENT CONFERENCE
HELD AT GOUCHER
GLEE CLUB IS TO GIVE CAROL
CONCERT ON FRIDAY EVENING
Delegates, From Eastern Colleges
Discuss Students' Relations
to International Affairs
ENGLISH CONFERENCE PLANNED
(Specially contributed by the Liberal Club
delegates, M. Rodney '24 and D. Smith,
Forty-three delegates, from more than
twenty colleges in the Eastern* States met
at Gouchcr College December 6th and 7th
; for a conference on the subject, "Youth
and the Peacemakers."
"This imposing title really meant that
the conference tried, first, to judge with
fair-mindedness the. questions of the en-
trance of the United States into the
League of Nations, and of the reparations
tangle between France and Germany. The
second and more important aspect of the
convention was the formulation of the ma-
jority opinion into resolutions and plans
for bringing the whole question before the
student body of the respective colleges.
The conference inaugurated the idea that
an international conference be held next
summer in England, for the purpose of
bringing together students from France,
Germany, England, America, and possibly
other countries, to discuss the economic
and political problem of Europe, particu-
larly relating to France and Germany in
the Ruhr. Details were, of necessity
vague, but the meeting voted to place ar-
rangements for the proposed conference in
the hands of the Executive Committee of
the National Student Forum, assisted by
an Advisory Committee from colleges rep-
resented at the Gouchcr Conference.
Four addresses were given to the dele-
gates. On Friday morning President
Emeritus Thomas spoke on the subject,
The Past Five Years in Europe, stressing
the awful conditions on the continent, bur-
dened by French militarism, Germany's
collapse, and the Turkish policy in the Near
East. "We must," she said, "compel our
primitive-minded Senate to join the
League." She told us that we could, help
by converting our parents, and said that
the only way it could be achieved was by
pledging individual candidates of both
parties for Congress or for President to
take a definite stand for the League.
In the afternoon Dr. Kathcrine Gallagher,
professor of History at Gouchcr College,
spoke on the reparations question and Ats
results in the international affairs. In an
able and delightful speech, Dr. Gallagher
first explained nw amount of the debt and
the details of its payment as provided by
the Treaty. She stated that the debt, or
rather the indemnity, owed to other coun-
tries, particularly France, by Germany,
could be paid only by a long continued
surplus of Germany exports over imports.
But since Germany has never in the last
twenty years had such a surplus she can-
not be expected to pay her debt now, espe-
cially since she has lost so much of her
former means of production. Granted that
Germany cannot pay, France must bear al-
most the whole burden of the war. She

PARTY TO AID BATE8 HOUSE
*W& entertainment for the benefit of
Bates House will be given in the Gym-
nasium on Saturday evening. A short
skit will be followed by dancing. Sand-
wiches, candy and lemonade will be sold.
The entire proceeds from this and the
admission fees of thirty-five cents will
go to the Bates House Fund.
Members of Philadelphia Orchestra
and Rosemont Choir Are To Assist
On Friday evening at 8.15, in Tayfor
Hall, the Glee Club, assisted by members
<>t the Philadelphia Orchestra and by the
choir of the Good Shepherd Church, Rose-
mont, will give B Carol Concert.
Thjs concert, which has far outgrown in
proportions jtfjc plans originally made, is
-an innovation in the type of entertain-
ment given by the Glee Club. Previously
operettas have been presented every year,
except on those of the May Day celebra-
tion* when there was usually no activity
�in the part of the Club. This year, how-
ever, more enterprise and a greater inter-
est has been shown.
The program will consist of many of
the favorite old French and English Carols,
such as - the "Minuit Chretien"; several
Bach Chorales, and /Kimsky-Korsakov's
"Come, Kolyada." Besides these there will
be Sting .the entire 148th Psalm, set to music
by Hoist. Neither Glee Club nor the Choir
has ever before attempted a whole psalm.
The power and richness of the singing
will-be greatly increased by the male voices
of the Rosemont choir and by the group of
string instruments from the Philadelphia
Orchestra. The players composing the
group are: Mr. Alexander Thiede and Mr.
Hairy Aleinikoff, first and second violins;
Mr. Romain Vcrney, cello; Mr. William
.Schmidt, violoncello, and finally, Mr. Anton
Torcllo, Bass-viol. ,
SUMMER SCHOOL SCHOLAR-
SHIPSTO BE RAISED THIS WEEK
School Supported By Contributions;
Students Will Speak at Tea Sunday
Scholarships for the Summer School will
lie raised in a drive beginning tomorrow.
The goal is one scholarship from each hall,
and pledges made now may be put on any
pay day. . .
Two hundred dollars pays the expenses
of one student for the summer. These
scholarships are being raised all over the
country, and are the only financial re-
sources of the School, since it is not en-
dowed at all. Each town has its quota,
and the country is organized in districts.
Miss Ely has lent her house for a tea
next Sunday afternoon, at which two Sum-
mer School students will speak. Miss Ada
Rosen felt, an organizer for the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers, now working in
New York, who is the first woman to man-
age her union, and Miss Sophie Schmidt,
a glove, tobacco, greenhouse, and electric
coil worker, who is now studying at the
Misses Kirks' School in preparation for
the University of Wisconsin, where she has
been given a scholarship.

RECITAL OF FRENCH SONGS
Under the auspices of the French Club,
Monsieur Gustave Ferrari gave a recital
of French songs dating from the twelfth
century to the present day,- in Taylor Hall
on the evening of December 4.
The singer commented on French songs
in general and those of his programme in
particular, tracing their development and
tendencies. He accompanied himself and
interpreted the songs as an actor. The pro-
gramme included : Bergire Ligire, Aupres
de ma Blonde, II' etait une Bergire, I.es
Cloches de Nantes and the modern songs:
La Statue de Bronze of Erik Satie, Le
Coeur de Ma Mie of Dalcroze, and Im-
pression Fausse of Verlaine and Poldowski.
MR. BLANCHARD DISCUSSES
STUDENT RELATION TO LABOR
College Students Must Appreciate
Human Aims of Labor
Paul Blanshard, Field Secretary of thf
League, for Industrial Democracy, ad-
dressed the Liberal Club/last Friday night
on "What College Girls Can Do For
Laborers." Mr., Blanshard has been, or-
ganizer for both the Amalgamated Textile
and Clothing Workers' I'nbns and ias
taught classes in Rochester, 1*1. Y., which
have sent students to attend the Bryn
Mawr Summer School. He has been speak-
ing in New England, and will lecture on
the Pacific Coast.
The best way to start bridging the gap
between college students and labor, began
Mr. Blanshard, is to have an appreciation
of the human values of the aims of labor.
In connection with the demand for higher
wages, it is well to realize that the majority
of the manual working class do not receive
a "living wage." This means that there is
class division and a "working class." These
people do not have the leisure, energy, or
habit of command that como With Vaca-
tions and higher wages. "Good wages are
wanted as a basis of personality., I have
never seen a man who could think clearly,
or a woman who could be beautiful or in-
teresting on less than a living wage," said
Mr. Blanshard.
Demand for the shorter working day
brings the realization of how much glory
and imagination have been taken out of
work, making it now merely the monot-

VARSITY VICTORIOUS
OVER ALUMNAE TEAM
Training and Technique Overcome
Determined Defense ^
The Alumnae made a determined, though
unsuccessful, stand against Varsity on Sat-
urday, losing 11-3.
After yielding in the first half with a
score of 8-1), the Alumnae improved greatly
in the second, and held Varsity to three
goals to their three, putting up a brave
though less skillful fight against obviously
superior training a,nd stick work. The ball
was rushed from one end to the other.
Miss G. Hearne '19, as center forward,
made her line into a co-ordinated unit.
The play was kept more in the center of
the field than most games this year, and
there were many long dribbles without
much intcrpassing on the Varsity forward
line. D. Lee '25, smashed hard, well-
aimed shots into the goal, and the clever

MISS GEORGIANA KING
LECTURES ON ARCHITECTURE
Miss (icorgiana Goddard King, Profes-
sor of History of Art, spoke at the College
Club in Philadelphia Monday afternoon on
"Cas*tles and Mosques in Spain and
Constantinople."
The castles in Mediterranean countries
are planned after the Byzantine model in-
stead of the Northern idea, which was that
of a tower, a mound and a ditch, said Miss
King. The mosques of Constantinople arc
all the work of Turks, who builftiled and
frescoed ornaments and inlaid woodwork
alike. They are examples of the form
which sprang from the contact of that curi-
ous, virile, Seljuk art with the Byzantine
they found, when after nearly half a mil-
lennium in Asia Minor they captured
Constantinople.
FRESHMEN PRESENT COURT
OF OZ IN A FINISHED SKIT
Chorus Dancers Perform Difficult
. Steps; Original Individual
Stunts Given
W00ZIE NEW GREEN ANIMAL
The full splendour of Glinda's Court in
the Land of 0/ was displayed by the Fresh-
man class in Their skit to the Sophornores,
Saturday night.
As an opportunity to show a great*re-
source of talent the scene was well chosen
and the excellence y_f the individual stunts
and choruses disguised the. slightness of
tin plot.
The committee should be congratulated
not only on the high degree of finish in
the whole performance, but also on rhym-
ing the whole skit and creating such a great
variety of dance steps. The.costumes and
scenery were in effectiveness quite worthy
of a full-fledged Freshman show, although
the singing fell short of the average stand-
ard.
When the curtains parted, the enchan-
tress, Gihtda (E. Aldcroft), enthroned and
surrounded by her maidens, rose majesti-
cally and lamented the fate that hung over
the land. Oz would l>e destroyed unless
three mortals, turned to stone by a wicked
magician, were restored to life before the
next day. The intervening time was to be
passed as pleasantly as possible in the hope
that a means of salvation would be found
before it was too late.
Three of her maidens (J. Cheney, H.
I'itz, .VI. Hand) then rose and danced be-
fore her in a delightfully, carefree and
graceful manner. When they had retired,
the stage began to fill, for, as the heralds
announced them, the bands of \\ inkies",
-Cooling^ Gilikins, Quadlings and Citizens
marched in with impressive rhythm. The
procession reached a climax when Ozma
"the fair ruler of the land" appeared and
with an unusually clear and sweet voice
sang of her effort to save the kingdom.
As she joined Glinda on the dais the
Crooked Magician (C. Swift) entered,
crouching and sinister, and admitted he was
powerless to free the mortals. Glinda, tow-
ering in rage, angrily dismissed him. The
scene was tense, but in the nick of time
entered an infectious band of Mue and scar-
let devils with a song and dance as im-
pudent and jaunty as themselves.
The appearance of Professor Wogglcbug
came as a strong contrast. The professor,
described by the herald as "slow as a bug
. . . in a rug," dilated on his painless
pills of knowledge and the incomparable
joys of his college with a truly flavored
scholasticism. The part was taken by M.
Villard, whose cadaverous appearance and
dry-as-dust tones .stood out in the evening's
acting.
A warm ^tlcomc greeted the somersault-
ing gnomes who followed on the professor
to clear the air. Theirs was a rollicking
performance and when in their intimate
chainwork occasional links were missed the
effect seemed delightfully intentional.
More sophisticated were the Teddy-Bears
